Do We Need Moisturiser For Oily Skin?
Yes! Even if your skin has enough oil, it doesn’t mean that it has enough water. All skin types need proper hydration to stay healthy, smooth, soft and young-looking. Without hydration, you are more prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin also becomes more sensitive and prone to damage, whether it’s from environmental exposure (sun and pollution) or harsh skincare products.
Dehydrated skin will also produce more oil. It’s a vicious cycle: your skin is oily, so you use too many products that dry out your skin. Your skin becomes more oily, so you use even harsher skincare.Eventually skin becomes so sensitive and stressed out, that it looks red and blotchy. Does that sound familiar?
Furthermore, even “healthy” oily skin will still need daily moisturiser. “Plenty of things—cold weather, hot water, harsh products, and aging—can disrupt the integrity of skin, causing it to spring tiny leaks. Before you know it, the skin no longer can act as a barrier to water loss and it becomes dry,” says Angela Palmer.
What Should I Look For In a Moisturiser for Oily Skin?
- Non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. This means the product does not contain any ingredients that are known to clog pores or trigger acne. However, if you’re being extra careful with your skin (because you’re severely acne-prone, or your skin is sensitive because of treatments) also avoid parabens, sulfates, and fragrances.
- Oil-free. While there are a lot of good plant extracts and oils that are good for oily or combination skin, you want to stay away from mineral oils and other thick emollients.
- Humectants. Some ingredients, like glycerine and hyaluronic acid, hydrate the skin by trapping moisture. These are usually light and non-greasy and feel weightless on your skin

“I’m in my mid 20s. I was looking for a lightweight eye cream, as I don’t suffer from any specific issues in my undereyes. It’s only for prevention really. I had a roller ball eye serum from a different brand and was looking for something similar. I like the cooling effect that it gives my undereyes, as sometimes I wake up with puffy eyes. This eye cream is very light and therefore absorbs really well into my skin and doesn’t sit on top of the it and clogs your pores. I will not recommend this one for people with dry skin.

“Instant calming for my breakouts
My skin flares up whenever I’m going through stress at work so was recommended to use Acuralle by a good friend when she noticed the breakouts around my chin area again. I wasn’t confident at first as I have tried so many other products in the past. So imagine the pleasant surprise when my skin cleared up the following day! I have been using Acuralle since to keep the breakouts at bay :))” says Sharoniel Cho on Acuralle’s official website.
Why we love it:
- Not only is it a great facial moisturiser; it’s also good to use for different parts of the body
